Hello,
What's wrong with drawing the windows in 3d and stil letting it appear 2D.
(if it's saving cpu time, why not let the gui be rendered by GPU if the gui
gets more responsive IT IS the BE way, as long we don't makei t apear in
3D).

I guess it depends on previous experience and how many times you have tried
something "intuitive" and got disappointed.

"My Documents" appears to be "managed" by Windows. It's "real" location is
somewhat obscured.
